Rebels forward Willie Coetzee, passed over in last months NHL Entry Draft, will still be headed to a big-league training camp this fall.Coetzee has accepted an invite to the Detroit Red Wings camp, where he will join linemate Landon Ferraro (Detroit's 2nd round pick, 32nd overall)
Coetzee, heading into his 19 year-old season, scored 18 goals and 42 points last year in his rookie campaign, quickly becoming a fan favorite in the process.
This coming fall, he'll likely play on the top line alongside Ferraro once again, and could be destined for a 60-70 point season.
